Puzzle #10: Yada Yada Yada

These are the rules:

  1. You may only guess one letter at a time.

  2. After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again. (see also rule #9)

  3. The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.

  4. One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.

  5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.

  6. If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to me via PM. DO NOT post it on the forum. If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.

  7. You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle.

  8. The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game. If no one has guessed it correctly after six misses, then the player with the most points wins the game.

  9. Only 5 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 5, before the next update, won’t be counted as a guess. And as always, someone else has to guess a letter before you can guess another letter.

And here is what you win … you get to create the next puzzle. Should you win the game and do not care to host the next puzzle, you may pass it to the member with the next highest points. Lazy scum. :slight_smile:

Since no1 is trying to hog the game and take 2 turns in a row, I didn’t count his guess of “A”. :happy:

i thought you just had to wait for another player to make a guess, nothing in the rules about taking two turns as long as there’s someone in between

M

I know it, but I ain’t guessing because I can’t run the next one. (This is a drive by.)

rule 3 says you can’t go until another player goes. Response by the puzzle-god isn’t another player.

A

right, but that’s what i did. i made another guess after another player went. shan is saying i can’t make multiple guesses in a single round, even though i waited until after another player went to make the second guess.

edit: nm, i guess updates count as a response, not as a reset of the player eligibility.

S

You’re right. You win. You do 11 :slight_smile:
